Can anyone tell me how to send on a e-mail with a attachment to it have tried twice with jno luck;;??? thanks Babs

There should be a paperclip at the top of your email which allows you to add attachments. Is that there?

I didnt think u could use outlook anymore. It was too unsafe when it comes to password stealing programs.

i thought microsoft put it beyond use because loads of little virus and buggy program thingys kept stealing passwords and sent an e-mail through outlook direct to the virus creater. Its safer to send emails through webpages. Harder to steal passwords, and they cant auto send e-mails.

Paul, XP puts a block on attachments to stop malicious ones infecting your PC. I haven't heard of any stopping the use of Outlook (normal or express). Using the internet does not prevent viruses. If you do not have an up-to-date virus scanner, you can still be infected.

Ok you want to attach something, open a new mail in box next to spelling there will be two little tiny arrows click on these and a little paperclip will appear click and off you go xxhugxx

oh. I have 4 comps in my house and all of them have outlook blocked. They were allready blocked when we got em. Didnt see the point of putting outlook on there if it was blocked!!

I use Outlook express all the time - never had any probs You've put the F.O.G into me now. Glynis

Tracy no ;; no paperclip on the forward page;; and I have done right click send with att ,, that didnt work as well;;Paul only one I understand ;;dont say that !!

Paul, I honestly don't know what you mean by ''blocked'', but you can still download it from the internet with IE.

Babs, which version of Windows do you have? and is it Outlook or Outlook Express?

I use Outlook all the time at home (XP) and at work (2000) and there is no 'block' on it!! Lynne

Babs have sent you a pm xxhugxx

Lindy have tried that but only brings things up that I have stored ;; the thing I want to send is just in my e-mail box and dont really want to safe just forward on to a few ;; Babs

Babs When you click on create mail have you got a tool bar along the top There should be a paper clip. if its not there try clicking on tools, scroll down and make sure you have tool bar Glynis

I use outlook express all the time without problems. to attach a file. Go to the insert menu at the top it will ask what youw ant to insert. click on file, it will take you to your documents, click on the file you want to attach. Ann Glos

Babs, try this.. In outlook, go to Tools at the top Click on Options and a box should open up Click on the Security tab Under Virus Protection, take the tick out of the the box next to 'So not allow attachments to be opened' Click Apply and Ok then try to forward it again. If this works, go back and put the tick back in the box, so you are protected again once you've sent on your email.

Sorry I misunderstood you, i thought youw anted to send an attachment with new e mail. if you just want to send an e mail with a attachment that you have received just forward the whole lot. failing that, copy and paste the attachment onto the new e mail. ann Glos

Sally its not funny I will send you it I promise ;; thanks everyone I'm trying everything will let you know when I win !! Babs

Tracy sorry forgot to tell you outlook express ; outlook 6
